If you browse to http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/file/?file=schema.xml
you should get an XML file with <schema name="ckan" version="2.0">.

This doesn't look like a virtualenv issue to me, from the error message
it looks like CKAN is saying it didn't understand the response that it
got from Solr.

You could also double-check that your solr_url is set correctly in your
CKAN configuration file, and you could try these commands:

    paster search-index clear
    paster search-index rebuild
    paster search-index check
